<TITLE>17. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 Next was glaucoma of the eyes. The Indians has much of it. And prayed for that one. Next come out was a--was a little girl, and she kept her head down like that. And I said, "Now..." She was a little bitty fellow about like that. It happened to be one of the chief's daughters. I said, "Now, the little girl," I said, "she's had a fever, and the fever made her go deaf and dumb. She can't speak or hear." And the interpreter said that, and the mother, "That was right, every bit of it was right." Them Indians then begin to look around at one another, you know. They begin to see something they'd never seen. So I said, "Now, I cannot make the--the girl to speak and hear. That takes God." But I said, "This is just the--the sign that He's here, that His Presence is here. He has us anointed." And so I took the little girl by the hand. I said, "Heavenly Father (They don't interpret the prayer)" I said, "let this deaf and dumb spirit leave this child." And I got down to her, and I done like that [Brother Branham clapped his hands--Ed.]. And she turned around and looked at me with them big black eyes, and I said, "You say, 'Praise the Lord.'"
She said... [Brother Branham imitates the girl trying to speak--Ed.] Something or another like that.
I said, "She'll talk better."
Her mother said, "Her talk heap good right now." And--and away she went. So then... "Her talk heap good right now."

L-50 Then the next was a mother. Then the next was a little old boy come out there. And I said, "Well, do you believe that God... You speak English?" No, she didn't speak English. I said, "Do you believe that God will heal the little fellow?" And she reached down and got him by the top of the head; they're real rough, you know, and his little old hair just as coarse as a mane on a horse, and so--hold him like that. I said, "He's got crossed eyes, but you believe that God... She heard the interpreter say, "crossed eyes," so she just got him by the nap of the head, and pulled his little head back, little eyes setting right in like that. I said, "Now, if you'll believe that God will straighten its little eyes," I said, "then God will do it." And so to the interpreter... I said, "Now, get it so..." They haven't got no--no sentence or punctuation. They start real low, and go high, high, low. They just... You know how the Apaches are. They're was kind of a rough set of Indians. So then they said, "Yes," that she'd believe.

L-51 I took the little fellow up by... He was just like trying to tame a bronco. And I had a piece of chewing gum. I put it under his nose and let him smell it, you know. Then I got him like this, got him in my arms, got the little fellow up in my arms like this. I said, "Don't interpret this." I said, "Heavenly Father, these poor people, this is really true Americans." And that's right. We're not Americans. No. We're not Americans. We're aliens that come and took the land away from them. They're real Americans. God gave them this land; we just took it away from them. I think it's a stain on the flag the way we treat them. That's right. Sending money over there to Japan and all them places to blow it back at us like this, and our Indians laying out here starving to death, it's not right. Sure, it isn't right.
